my frakking doctor won't approve any pain meds any stronger, so in the cold weather I'm walking around feeling like from the hips to my knees I got trampled on by an entire college football team

"Thirty-one* states allow all qualified citizens to carry concealed weapons. In those states, homosexuals should embark on organized efforts to become comfortable with guns, learn to use them safely and carry them. They should set up Pink Pistols task forces, sponsor shooting courses and help homosexuals get licensed to carry. And they should do it in a way that gets as much publicity as possible. "

I hear you. If all I needed was the damn alleve they always try to advise me to go buy why would I pay $100 to come see a doctor.

I got a prescription from him last month, but when I researched the stuff it turned out to be a tweak on Alleve that makes each pill 2.5 times as powerful -- so really I could just get the same effect by taking two and a half Alleve instead of one of those, and it would be cheaper (even with my prescription plan!).

So I'm going to try the "M-card".

I sometimes feel like kicking him hard about a dozen times in one hip, and telling him, "That's what I feel like on a good day -- now can we talk a real pain killer?"

Yeah I was flat out told by a doctor that the difficulty of actually nailing down muscular pain and "proving it's really there" is why they're very hesitant to do more than tell you to take naproxen. I understand people can just make up pain to try to get prescription painkillers but geez, what if you really do need them?

I told him I've been kicked by a horse and by a cow, and I'd rather just get kicked again most mornings than deal with this pain. And he knows I broke a leg bone from running on it, and finished a race with it broken all the way through, and sometimes this pain is worse.

He's not going to be happy I'm getting the M-card, but that's his problem.

Meanwhile, a physical therapist I know is whipping up a natural concoction meant to balance the immune system and alleviate arthritis and other joint pain -- I have fair hopes from it.

I was sitting here reading an article, when i crossed something that made me think of a show I used to watch when I was a little boy. I bolted over to youtube and watched the opening credits of said show...it was as if I was ten years old all over again. Sitting there humming along to the theme song and almost transported back in time. The feeling is just so strong...and when I realize that what i was 'experiencing' took place eighteen years ago...it broke my heart. I'm no longer that innocent kid anymore that viewed the world the way I did at that time. It's just surreal at how much time has passed, and how different I am now. bittersweet

We should appreciate every moment of our lives, because once a moment is gone...it's gone. Time waits for no one. And the older I get...the faster it seems to move.

A deep insight. Many know it with their brains, not so many with their hearts.

I can't for the life of me understand how someone can suggest that it's okay for someone's bf/partner/whatever to be still trolling dating/hookup sites after being in a serious relationship. If I ever found my partner on a "dating site" or anything like grindr...it would be time to discuss opening up our relationship.

People looking for "friends" on grindr. okay...

I'm a little ahead of you, and you're totally right-- it goes faster. I still think of h.s. as really not that long ago, when I realize it's been over a decade after hearing some song randomly popped onto the radio that used to be popular back then, it can be depressing to realize how long ago that actually was, rather than the couple of years it feels like.

Exactly. It's so surreal--in kind of a what the fuck happened to the time kind of way.

@ Doctor's offices - why are you closed on both New Years Eve, and New Years Day when I want to call to schedule an appointment and give you business? Why? If I have to work on NYE, so should you!

The eye doctor I want to get in to see is closed both today and tomorrow.

Thankfully, the walk-in doctor's office clinic I want to go to, to get this lump in my neck checked out will be working a shortened business day (closing at 5pm as opposed to a normal day - 10pm). I have no problem with a shortened business day for a non-Christmas holiday. But if I have to work, then hey, it is what it is - how come you don't? Just sayin'...
